Red Cross Assists Nine Families After Cloquet Fire; Agency Resources At A Greater Need During The Holiday Season

A multi-unit fire in Cloquet has left nine families with immediate needs in the aftermath.  The Northland Chapter of the American Red Cross has been assisting with shelter, seasonal clothing, food, and emotional support.

Executive Director Dan Williams expressed his gratitude to the support that the agency received form the Northland.

"Thanks to our incredible volunteers and generous donors, Red Crossers in Minnesota responded to more than 50 fires, helping more than 70 people in just the last six weeks," said Dan Williams, Executive Director of the American Red Cross serving Northern Minnesota.

The winter season can unfortunately see an increase in the need for the services of the Red Cross.  WIth the holidays upon us, the Red Cross has established an online gift catalog that allows one to buy a variety of symbolic gifts that are tax-deductible donations to support the mission of the Red Cross.  Click here for more details.
